Description
The Citadel Security Portal from TURNSTILES.us is a high‑security, full‑height interlocking door system designed for access control in sensitive or restricted areas. It functions as a biometric‑ready mantrap, enforcing strict entry protocols by verifying identity and securing both doors in sequence.
Constructed with durable materials and with bullet‑resistant glass, the portal is ideal for data centers, defense facilities, and any environment requiring controlled, one‑person‑at‑a‑time entry.
The system supports a wide range of integrations including card readers, biometrics, video intercoms, and emergency controls, with tamper detection and a programmable PLC logic controller. Available in ADA‑compliant configurations and multiple finishes, the Citadel is engineered for architectural compatibility and long‑term performance.
